This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

After the plethora of dim witted teen angst vampire films that have trudged across our screen in recent years its refreshing to see a highly original, witty vampire flick that shows you don't need mega bucks to be entertaining.The title Suck is a double entendre. A struggling US/Canadian rock band that sucks when they start out but suck literally when they are transformed into highly successful rocking vamps. The mix of rock genre and vampires makes for naturally good chemistry but its not enough on its own. What really makes this film work is its high creative IQ. There is genuine wry humour and no small amount of originality sprinkled generously throughout this film. The cast are well chosen too. The male and female leads compliment each other beautifully whilst the other cast members hand in fine performances including rock legends such as Alice Cooper. Interestingly the music that runs through the film is pretty damn good too. It really does rock. I rarely rate horror flicks highly, most are mass produced trash which relies on either special effects or grotesque sensationalist violence to carry them. This film does neither of these things, instead relying on genuine talent which is what good film making is all about. A well deserved ten out of ten from me.

A struggling rock band bite off more than they can chew when one member is bitten and turned into a vampire. After turning band mates into blood suckers, career success and hilarity ensue. Including a scene with Moby as a metal bands lead singer who gets more than he bargains for when he takes a groupie to the hotel room. A lot of effort went into this little indie film. And you can tell that the cameos (Alice Cooper,Malcom McDowell,Moby), are done out of love for the script. Certainly not for the few dollars they were surely paid to be in the film. Hardcore legend Henry Rollins does a great job as an annoying typical radio DJ.While the music that the band plays certainly lives up to the film's title, the movie as a whole is entertaining. And I always love seeing a Danny Smith cameo.

For those not into the Twilight genre of pretend vampire movies, this is an interesting film from Canada.The band sucks, and so does someone else. The second sucking will cure the first.Rock legends Alice Cooper, Moby, and Iggy Pop contribute to the fun, which also includes cartoon scenes interspersed throughout.And, what would be a vampire movie without Van Helsing. Malcolm McDowell fills that role splendidly. More yucks than gore. So, it is really a very soft R, almost a PG-13. Put drugs in a film and it overrides everything else.

I don't have anything against The Rocky Horror Picture Show and I don't have anything against musicians playing in a movie but I really have something against movies classified under horror while it's just some piece of crap. Some of the musicians can't act, like Moby. If you want to see musicians act go watch Hardware. Why an actor like McDowell agreed to play in this flick is for me still a question. It just is a movie for teenies. If you like Twilight then you also will like this one. It is never scary or gory, yes, there is blood and dismembered bodies but it doesn't work. There are a lot of effects, old school like Alice Cooper said and CGI. A lot of effects done while editing. The director just made a mix of a musical, horror, spoof, and references to album covers (The Beatles at Abbey Road, Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA). It's just a hodgepodge. Made for the teens, if you are a real horror geek, I prefer Hardware with Iggy Pop, Carl McCoy and Lemmy, just suck that one...
